Double Down

What do you do when you lost 8 trillion on red? Double down and bet 16 trillion on red. If that doesn't work, bet 32 trillion on red. Taxpayers are good for it. If they ask for collateral, pull down your pants, as Dylan said.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'I')f they ask for collateral, pull down your pants, as Dylan said.


You'd think that's why they call it "craps." Image Turns out it's actually from the French word for "toad." Close enough.

This quatrain from Dylan has been running through my head for a couple of years:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')oo much of nothing
Can make a man abuse a king.
He can walk the streets and boast like most
But he wouldn't know a thing.
Now, it's all been done before,
It's all been written in the book,
But when there's too much of nothing,
Nobody should look.


Double down? I'm game. Useless paper as cheap insulation blah blah blah bring it on you're only getting started anyway no way for us to stop it
